Instructions:

1. Fold the card base on the score lines: with the smallest panel on the right fold mountain then valley.  Burnish flat.  
2. Take a pencil and measure down 2 inches on the score line closest to the smallest panel and make a tic mark. Now measure down on the next score line 1 inch and make a tic mark. 
3. From the end of the short side cut off the top of the card from the tic mark on each scoreline.  This will make a stair step. 
4. Re-fold your card. 
5. Add DSP and mat layers to panels as shown in photos
6. I used a balloon sticker mounted on white card stock for my focal image and star stickers to embellish my card
7. I cut up my white herringbone ribbon so it was all "funky and strandy"
